Now that the Republicans have won, they are going to say that they have a mandate to go crazy legislatively.Whatever happens to you Bush voters, losing your job or getting you kid killed in the new Bush war for oil in Syria, you have only yourself to blame. There is no telling what they might do or who Bush will attack next.I think that you plastic patriots who voted for this imbecile should volunteer your children for his cannon fodder instead of requiring the rest of us to do your fighting for you. As far as the winners wanting us...

28% of Democrats apparently think that Kerry won the election.

The purpose of this Kerry visualization is a shift in consciousness -- to move voters away from the negative programming of the Republicans and vested interests -- to a positive attraction for Kerry based on his good character, values and right action. Method: [1] Light a candle. Gaze at the flame. Get calm. [2] Slowly repeat the intentions, or listen to the audio version. See the visualization ideas as very real. Note: This visualization is not chronological or linear, but a broadcast of positive visuals cascading out to the hearts and minds of Americans. The visuals are meant to awaken...

First of all, this election was definitely rigged. I have no doubt about it. It's a statistical impossibility that Bush got 8 million more votes than he got last time. In 2000, he got 15 million votes from right-wing Christians, and there are approximately 19 million of them in the country. They were eager to get the other 4 million. That was pretty much Karl Rove's strategy to get Bush elected. But given Bush's low popularity ratings and the enormous number of new voters -- who skewed Democratic -- there is no way in the world that Bush got 8...

Dan Rather, the CBS anchor who is well past his sell-by date, was verging on losing it in the early morning hours of November 3. Ed Bradley had carried out a mathematical calculation that showed that George W. Bush needed only to obtain 15 per cent of Ohio’s absentee and provisional ballots to win the state and the presidency. A visibly upset Rather then came out with one of his famous Danisms--just because a chicken has wings, doesn’t mean it can fly. In a poignant comment, Bradley defended himself by saying that he wasn’t making the math up--the figures came...

A perfectly clear blue sky spread over Boulder Wednesday. Yet a dark cloud trailed the city's traditionally liberal majority after they learned their presidential candidate had conceded to George W. Bush. Advertisement Shock. Disgust. Fury. John Kerry supporters said they felt a tornado of emotions starting Tuesday night, as state after state turned Republican red. If Boulder County residents had called the election, Kerry would've clobbered Bush with almost 70 percent, preliminary numbers show. But outside of the so-called "Boulder bubble," Bush received 51 percent of the national vote. Local Bush supporters seemed to come out of hiding Wednesday for...

I say forget introspection. It's time to be honest about our antagonists. My predecessors in this conversation are thoughtful men, and I honor their ideas, but let's try something else. I grew up in Missouri and most of my family voted for Bush, so I am going to be the one to say it: The election results reflect the decision of the right wing to cultivate and exploit ignorance in the citizenry. I suppose the good news is that 55 million Americans have evaded the ignorance-inducing machine. But 58 million have not. (Well, almost 58 million—my relatives are not ignorant,...
